Today was a chill day for it being the Fourth of July. Slept in, sat around. I made this small sad little steak I got and macaroni and cheese for dinner. I was going to watch Yankee Doodle Dandy but went over my friend's house instead where I did nothing. Played with some sparklers. I made them all watch 1776 and it was glorious. They liked it a ( Read more... )

I went to see Public Enemies tonight. I was excited because it's a gangster movie set in the 1930s. I've seen plenty of movies set in the 1930s and filmed then too. I also just watched The Public Enemy on TCM (considered to be one of the greatest [and first] gangster movies ever). Needless to say, I had high expectations ( Read more... )

So I think I'm being stalked by someone named Sheila. I mean, she was mysteriously at the corner of the street as I was crossing it. And she knew who I was. I think she's following me. That weirdo. And now I have to hang out with her next week. ugh. How did I get roped into this one ( Read more... )

Went to Ikea today. Bought a really cute lamp that I was so excited about because I don't have a lamp next to my bed and I've needed one. Right before bed is when I usually read and write and I wanted a lamp because I never want to get out of bed. So I picked up this cute lamp, got environmentally friendly light bulbs, got home, and discovered the ( Read more... )

Let's talk about how the Pittsburgh Penguins won the Stanley Cup tonight and how it was the best thing ever. I was so nervous going into tonight's game. Once they scored that second goal, I knew we were pretty golden. And then the bar counted down the seconds and erupted into cheers when it went FINAL. Lots of screaming, lots of yelling, lots of ( Read more... )

When I'm walking down the street, I often wonder what the other people think I'm listening to. Today I was feeling really lazy, so I was wearing gym shorts and a tee shirt. I assume people thought I was listening to "work out" music, and not former Attorney General John Ashcroft signing "Let the Eagle Soar". It's a beautiful song ( Read more... )

I applied for a ton more jobs today. And I now have an Excel spreadsheet where I can keep track of all of them. It's so fancy! Horray for templates. (No seriously, search "job search" in the templates part. It's hot.)

I met people this weekend, and I need the pictures to get on Facebook.

I just really have nothing to say.

It about 5 seconds I learned that I wouldn't be able to meet Senator Specter because of work, then my friend took the time to figure out how much I was going to make at my job and tell me it was pretty much worthless because I won't be making that much ( Read more... )

Yesterday was my mom's birthday. I called my house twice and left a message. She didn't call me back, which I thought was a little strange but I didn't think much of it ( Read more... )

I'm knitting two of my friends here scarves. I've been working on the one for a while (I needed another skein and I never got around to going to Michael's). I have it laying on the couch, so I'll just pick it up randomly while watching TV and get some rows done.

As I usually do at 1:30PM when I'm home, I put on Mister Roger's Neighborhood. And ( Read more... )
